We having conferences is something really common in college. There were times like olive’s birthday when about 10-15 ppl were on the conference together! Speak of how much our gadgets have advanced from the pigeons messages to our cellfones! Last nite I had a conference on the fone, that got left me in deep thot for a long time even after I kept the fone down!
College has changed all of us in a way! I kno jay since the firsdt grade and guggs since the eigth grade and I remember my frens well of wot they were just one year back and I see them today as ppl ho have changed all in a beautiful way!
Last year this time, I had not even imagined two of my bestest frens will soon have to go so far from here! It was still predictable of jay’s decision to go to kota. But I remember I was just not able to digest the fact guggs will not be here ny longer for 3 whole years! All thru the days before she left I had not realized she’ll be leaving and all the times I told her I know u’ll do it and you’ll be abvsolutely fine there….it was only wen I cem back home after meeting her for the last time till next vacations, I realized she is not gonna be here, no more calln up n asking Vir, gugga hai? No more meetings at sp for a long time n I burst up crying! I just din want her to go! I was already missing jay and I din wann guggs to go! I was soo wishing I cud stop her!
Today as I spoke to them . I was all quite jus listening to them as both of them spoke of their hostel life and new frens! Of how they had learnt to value their family and friends wen distances came up. Both of them had becum so mature!
I silly said sumthn I wudn have usually said, as they finished, that mite have made them feel I dun understand, (i do this alwz just say crap, I dun mean. I dun intend to at the the time I just dun have to! :-S) said dat den coz I wasnot used these two extremely strong headed, very practical ppl sayn wot they did! But I realized later, in life maybe u grow strong in true sense wen u understand ur inner self, wen u connect to ur self, wen u make connections thru ur heart, wen u value your feeling in the right way. My frens had cum bak after growing so strong! =)

Missing hugs, good food, emotional support, nah maybe yes I wudn understand, coz I din go thru it, but theres just one thing I know, I value and respect their feelings. It troubled me wen I heard they were in pain during the initial time, wen I learnt they missed home badly, it made me feel really happy wen I learnt they had found friends to support them, a new family far away from here!
We generally dun give a thot to things related to our feelings, tho they affect us a lot! Being practical at all times sumwhr maybe takes us away from our feelings. But life jus show us how to value things! We as humans even after all said and done do take things simply for granted! Our parents advice. Our siblings love and affection even as we fight with them! I alwz knew my family was special, these two made me realise this fact jus all the more!
As kids, our friendships and our priorities alwz are different. As time passes, far before we understand we growup. Life makes us growup! The relations made now stay, coz they are simply meant for being there! The relations that are formed now rise from deep within your soul and literally conquer and capture a place in your heart to alwz stay there! A common forward I have received many times is ‘I may be far but I care!’ today I realised a new meaning to this line! You dun have to say things from now on, you just feel them! Close your eyes n ur loved ones are their in your heart, you can actually communicate! You no longer take efforts to have the formal sorrys and thankyous. no longer you need to say ‘v’l stay in touch’ for bonds have made been formed already! You want it, dun want it, you have it, and you know you treasure it!
Friends are ppl far more important than their casual attitude and care-free style makes them appear. Isn’t it strange, ppl we take the least care to make a relation with. Ppl with you are the most casual. Ppl u dun care talking all crap bout. Are ppl who become soo dear! The sitting together in class, walking bak home with, the ppl tiffins are shared with and so also the sugar-cane and lemon juices! Ppl you jus talk and talk to, you gossip and bitch to, you msg n call at odd times,ppl you hangout with, ppl you spend time with, you give them a part of your life that will never return empty, but all filled and decorated with the most meaningful things if you give it a thot! Each one of your friend helps you create the story of your life, the story you will narrate to your grandchildren! =)
Friends are life!
This one is specially for my lukhas…. I learnt friendship in its true sense first with you guys, rite from the BCTS days, WHEN we shared our dreams, TO today when we are working towards accomplishing them! The ‘I’ became ‘ we’ coz of u all! I learnt the additional meanings of the word friend that connect to my soul coz of you, and you yourself know how much this friendship matters to me and you. I’ll alwz remember the conference we had last nite
I simply wanna say …
I JUST SIMPLY LOVE YOU GUYS! You are the best thing that ever happened to me! I swear!
GOD BLESS ………..TAKE CARE
AH!.. i think u understood us.. or rather me perfectly when i said that.. I guess that is the real friendship.. when u understand everything even without uttering a single word from the mouth!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have learnt to love and respect every person in my life.. i have learnt to treasure em all.. :-) It has made me emotionally stronger (gotta admit i was a big time emo girl before going to HK!).. and more open and weird :P
